You are not over-reacting, one of my pet peeves among my colleagues is carelessness. It does not matter what kind of patch it is, whether it is harmful or not. This must be discarded immediately in appropriate container and not left on the table o...

I used to suffer migraines few years ago. When I got the migraine I could not do anything until I met a physician who practiced alternative medicine. To make the story short, he put me on a strict vegetarian diet. Not only my problems with migrain...

When I was a student nurse (1987) we were asked to buy a stethoscope. The school told us to get a Sprague. So, I got myself a Sprague. I even had my name on it. But guess what??? It was stolen!!! I was devastated, so I told my best friend about ...

I am 63 years old. When one of my my co-workers found out how old I am she could not believe my age. She told everyone in the unit and they came to me looking at my face saying "you don't look your age". Anyway, I do not dye my hair which is bl...

I used to have violent migraines until 1998. I went to a physician (MD) who practices natural healing. I fast for three days, that was the cleansing phase, then gradually changed to semi-solid to solid totally vegetarian diet, meaning no animal pro...

Congratulations. You have completed your BSN. Do not worry about what others will be thinking or saying about you about you, those people have nothing better to do but distract you (they are losers!). Get experienced as a floor nurse. Be good at ...

Yes, I think that there is a shortage of nurses in this country. In my own personal opinion, nurses are caring, but not all of them. I find that foreign graduate nurses put a lot in caring for their patients and I find some nurses who do care at ...

Liability insurance for nurses where I am presently employed is paid by the hospital and will continue for 5 years after my employment. I used to carry a liability insurance when I worked in another facility. I dropped it since I started working he...
